Age of Napoleon
November 1799: Napoleon overthrows the government and declares himself First Consul of
France
:::
In 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military leader.
Early in the revolution, he sided with the revolutionary
extremists, the Jacobins, who were led by Maximillien
Robespierre and controlled the government until 1795. During
that time he was promoted in the military for devising
successful battle plans and for his support of the revolution.
After Robespierre's execution, the country fell into civil war.
Counter-revolutionaries who supported the monarchy attacked
the National Convention, the group of representatives who ran
the government. Napoleon was tasked with defending the
National Convention in Paris and was successful in pushing back
the royalists. With the trust of the new ruling body, the
Directory, Napoleon was given command þf military campaigns
in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Egypt, Syria, and other places
where French forces fought against countries led by monarchs
who threatened the revolution.
While commanding French troops, General Bonaparte
gained popularity in France. To many of the French people he
was the successful leader who defeated armies threatening
their country and who enriched the French by bringing the
riches of other regions home.
